Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Mitchy: *walks in, sees cat on Thess's lap, being brushed and purring his head off*
Mitchy: Oooh he likes that new cat brush then!
Thess: Oh yes, he's purring and dribbling all over my knee.
Mitchy: Did you get much fur off....
Thess: *holds up fur equivalent of second cat*
Mitchy: him...never mind, forget I spoke.

Did the weekly shop on the way back from work tonight, so I emailed thessalian beforehand and asked for a shopping list. She mentioned she needed coffee and the following email exchange happened:-

Me: What sorta coffee do you like, again?
Thess: Oh, I'm not too fussed. Alta Rica's nice but store brand is fine. So long as it's decaf, it's all good.
Me: OK, no prob...WAIT WHAT?!? DECAF?! SINCE WHEN?!?! Who are you and where's the real Thesski?!
Thess: *facepalms* NOT! "So long as it's NOT decaf"!!! I meant to say! *headdesks*
Me: Good grief, are you trying to cause an international incident? I was about to the put the armed forces on standby :P

Mitchy: *catches up on Twitter, spots a tweet from a Thesski*
"I love TV shows where I can hear a 200-year-old vampire talking about how "Sure, I can get them all here; they're all on my Twitter feed".
Mitchy: Ooooh man, if Buffy were being made today, you just know Angel would have Twitter.
Thess: No, he wouldn't, and Spike would think it would be for nerds. Harmony totally would!

*lively discussion ensues over who'd have twitter and who'd snark and who'd be clueless*

Thess: You could have a 10 year reunion thing where they're all on twitter or something...
Mitchy: *gets The Grin*
Thess: NO! NO! STOPPIT!!
Mitchy: *Grins Harder*
Thess: I do NOT have to write it! I do NOT have to write it! I DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE IT!
Mitchy: Given your last fanfic was Dragon Age/Wizard of Oz, I think it's actually a moral imperative.
Mitchy: *GRINS*
Thess: Go 'way!! *holds up cross, hides eyes*
Mitchy: *spends rest of evening Grinning evily*

So if you'd like to read the story of the Buffy gang and Twitter (imagine Cordelia! oooh boy!!), pester thessalian to write it. You know she wants to really :D

A mousey is watching the New York Mets play baseball. It's not going well.*

Mitchy: No! NO! You GET that if they get a WALK here with the BASES LOADED, they SCORE and WIN, right?!
Mitchy: STOP THROWING THE BALL AT THEIR ANKLES!
Mitchy: *@!!@*"! Where's my spikey bat?
Thess: *peers over the parapet* jenni411 does still have your bail money, right?



Mets v Cards. 13 scoreless innings so far. *sigh*

Mitchy: *idly clearing up cups and debris from around computer*
Mitchy: *is struck by sudden thought*
Mitchy: *face lights up, beams like a spotlamp*
Thess: What?
Mitchy: I've just had a lovely thought. It feels like a Saturday..but it's NOT!
Thess: *nods sagely* And you also realise that this means you can have another mug of tea...
Mitchy:...
Mitchy:...
Mitchy: How do you DO that?! *goes to make another mug of tea*
Thess: *cackles. Knowingly*

halcyon_shift turned a meme* upside down by writing ficlets instead of answering the questions. This has prompted others to do the same thing, including thessalian (See here for an example. I finally thought up a question for the meme for Thess which led to a conversation about characters from Leverage and Eureka interacting.

Mitchy: Oooh Eliot and Jo! Eliot would be all "Guns! Pah!" and Jo would be all "Heathen! Pah!"
Thess: I foresee swift hand to hand combat followed by morning after and "Let us never speak of this again".
Mitchy: I might challenge you to write that over the long weekend!

Thess duly toddles off to bed. Time passes.

Mitchy: *peacefully poking computer*
Thess: *appears suddenly in doorway, pointing menacingly*
Thess: I now have Eureka/Leverage crossover fic eating my brain and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!
Mitchy: *cackles like a loon* My work here is done!
Thess: HATE YOU! BLAME YOU!! *shakeyfist*


Note, I'm not doing the meme, but for the curious, this is what it is:
1. Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.
2. Ask your flist to post questions in the comments. For example: 'One, nine and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?', 'Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?', 'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
3. After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

How to have an attack of the giggles in 12 easy stages:-

1) Arrange to have several large items of furniture taken away

2) The night before, move as much as possible nearer the front door, including the base of the single bed that is dominating the spare room....

3) Co-opt thessalian

4) Forget that neither of you are particularly tall.....

5) Mid-way through the shoving/heaving/cursing process, get base nicely wedged in doorway, with half of it in the hall, upright, and the bottom of it still in the bedroom, at an angle of about 45 degrees.

6) Try and help the Thesski, who's in the hall holding it upright, by shoving the base in an attempt to unjam it.

7) "ARGH!"

8) "Ack, are you ok?!?"

9) "*whimpers* I don't bend this way....!!"

10) Get fit of the giggles

11) Get Thesski giggling helplessly as well, to the point she's in danger of not being able to hold the bed up.

12) Finally manage to control self long enough to free base from doorway, just before thessalian collapses from combination of weight of bed/lack of air through giggling while in the shape of a shepherd's crook....

Base is now looming in hallway, ready to fall on unsuspecting persons attempting to approach front door. I suspect it's mocking us.

Mitchy: Whine cold need hot water bottle whine whine meer
Thess: *fresh from long walk* Brisk!
Mitchy: ...
Thess: Brisk!
Mitchy: COLD!
Thess: Canadian!
Mitchy: *glare*

So I told thessalian that Dragon Age Origins was getting an expansion soon.....

( This was her reaction )

thessalian: I HATE YOU! I BLAME YOU!!
Me: Meep?
Thess: DEATH GLARE!
Me: You read..something...and got addicted?
Thess: No!
Me: You watched something and got addicted?
Thess: NO!
Me: *lightbulb* You played Dragon Age Origins and got addicted?
Thess: YES! HATE YOU! BLAME YOU!

:D
